Does the hadith prohibiting (fasting on Saturday) specify the hadith of Juwayriyah regarding fasting on the day before or after it?

The Shaykh : Those who adopted this second estimation, which was criticized for being attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) even if in meaning and not in wording, argued only with the hadith of Juwayriyah. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to her while she was fasting on Friday, he said to her: She said: No, She said: No, he said to her: , and likewise the hadith in Muslim: The answer to this, I think, has also been mentioned in the previous discussion; that this hadith permits fasting on Saturday if a person fasts on Friday. Here, two scenarios regarding fasting on Saturday confront us: either he has fasted on Friday, in which case, in executing this command, he must fast on Saturday. The other scenario is that he fasts on Saturday along with Sunday, but not with Friday. There is absolutely no evidence for this second scenario; fasting on Saturday and fasting on Sunday. As for fasting on Saturday in order to escape or get rid of fasting on Friday, which is prohibited when fasted alone, this hadith addresses that. If we were to stop at this hadith and not apply the previous rule, which is necessary, namely that this permits one who wants to fast on Friday to fast on Saturday, but the hadith we are explaining and discussing, we said, is a prohibitor, and the prohibitor takes precedence over the permitter. If we wanted to apply the hadith of Juwayriyah and what is similar to it in a specific way, then it is not appropriate for us to dismiss the hadith prohibiting fasting on Saturday absolutely, but rather we say we also exclude this specific scenario, which is fasting on Friday along with Saturday. This is if it is not possible to apply the rule that the prohibitor takes precedence over the permitter, and that is possible. This is all I have regarding this question. So, if anyone has some knowledge from which we can benefit, or a question to direct, let us look into it, and we ask Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to guide us all to know the truth and act upon it. But I say something: since the question is from Egypt, I hope we hear from the representative of the people of Egypt if he has something. This is in the category of prioritizing the more important. If he has nothing, then as I said, the matter is common. Do you have something? Please proceed.

The questioner : The prohibition of fasting on Saturday is general, and fasting on Friday and the day before or after it is specific, so we specify fasting on Saturday.

The Shaykh : Your question has already been answered, may Allah reward you. It has already been answered, or did you not notice?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : I said lastly, and I repeat what I said: , I said if we do not apply the rule that the prohibitor takes precedence over the permitter, this specific part remains, which is that one fasts on Saturday. What if the Day of 'Arafah comes and we have not fasted anything, so we fast on the Day of 'Arafah and the day is Saturday? The answer: No, the prohibitor takes precedence over the permitter. But I say, whoever accepts this must also accept the contrary of what I mentioned earlier, which I answered. I said earlier that it can be said that fasting on Friday with Saturday is an exception. Fine, but is this a correct derivation from the scientific usuli perspective? The answer: No, because the permission to fast on Saturday with Friday is a permission and not from the category of obligation. Is this clear up to here? And if the matter is so, there is no difference between fasting on the Day of 'Arafah or the Day of Ashura on Saturday and fasting on Saturday with Friday; because all these fasts—if the expression is correct—are within the scope of permissibility and permission. And if the permissible or the permitter conflicts with the prohibitor, the prohibitor is given precedence over the permitter. Is the answer clear regarding your question?

The questioner : But O Shaykh ..

The Shaykh : I ask you before you say whether it is in it or not: Is the answer clear?

The questioner : The answer is clear.

The Shaykh : Is the command here for obligation or for recommendation?

The questioner : The prohibition of Saturday?

The Shaykh : Leave him, my brother, heThe questioner : is answering in the sense that I answer for you the scenario of a person who wants to fast on Friday and knows that Saturday follows it, and he knows that Saturday is prohibited from fasting. Is it permissible for him to fast on Friday to follow it with fasting on Saturday, while he is aware that he has been prohibited from fasting on Saturday? Is this question clear? And I think the answer is that it is not permissible for him.
